    Morning all, I've not posted all week but have been lurking and doing what I can although DH would have disagreed yesterday with the amount of washing up that built up.

    Have had a quick read through and can't believe how many teachers there are on here.

    So far today I've only vacuumed the living room but have 15 mins till the paid stuff so will go and see what's lurking under DDs bed.

    Catch you all later.

    Well the bed wasn't too bad. Just two boxes of books from studying which she may now want to transfer to the loft (I'll need to check with her) and a dog bed which is now in the WM.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    I think it is a lovely pic too.. DS is nearly 21 so not that much of a baby, still behaves like he is 5 though.. on a good day!

    DD's birthday is 5th July. She has been having small cx this morning.. she text me at 7am!!! She is just ringing hospital to see when they want her.

    I have tonsillitus this morning.. glee!! Only one side is affected at the moment.. and it is agony!

    Nails prettied, eyebrows ripped off.. I actually quite like it! .. hair appts made for OH (so he looks less like a cotton bud), DS2 (so he doesn't look like a sheep for his prom next Friday!) and eyebrows appt for DD2 :D

    Dot fed and dressed and growling in the jumperoo...

    To top it all off.. af turned up!
